1.
Acquire the appropriate binary
GFS kernel. Copy or download the
appropriate RPM file for each
GFS node.
For example:
kernel-gfs-smp-2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.i686.rpm
Make sure that the file is appropriate for the
hardware and libraries of the computer on which the
kernel will be installed.
2.
At each node, install the new
kernel by issuing the following
rpm
command and variable:
rpm -ivh
GFSKernelRPM
GFSKernelRPM
= GFS kernel RPM file.
3.
At each node, issue an
rpm
command to check the kernel
level.
For example:
rpm -q kernel-gfs
Verify that the correct kernel has been installed.
4.
At each node, make sure that the
boot loader is configured to load
the new kernel.
For example, check the GRUB
menu.lst
file.
5.
Reboot each node into the new
kernel.
6.
At each node, verify that the
node is running the the
appropriate kernel as follows:
uname -r
If you need to compile third-party
drivers against the kernel, pro-
ceed to the next step. If not, pro-
ceed to Section 3.2.2
Installing A
GFS RPM
.
Displays the current release level of the kernel
running.
7.
Acquire the tar file from RHN
containing the GFS kernel
patches:
GFS_kpatches-5.2.1.tgz
The
GFS_kpatches-5.2.1.tgz
file contains GFS
kernel patches and patch instructions for supported
kernels.
8.
Extract a patch-instructions file
from
GFS_kpatches-5.2.1.tgz
For example:
rh_kernel_patch.txt
Follow the patch instructions and check which kernel
versions are supported.
